Harrison County head archery coach Jeromy Northcutt has high expectations once again for the 2016-17 archery season.
Northcutt heads up the archery teams at the high school, middle schools and elementary school levels.
Team tryouts and practice began back in September with more than 90 students out for the three teams.

The dictionary says that a tragedy is an event causing great suffering, destruction, and distress, such as an accident, crime, or natural catastrophe.
The events of last Wednesday afternoon, Thanksgiving Eve, can only be described as a tragedy.
Whenever a young person’s life is taken away no matter the circumstance, or who the young person is, there are always those close to that person who are saddened and remorseful.

The fans of the Harrison County winter sports greeted the season Friday night as they came in big numbers to meet the Breds and Fillies on the Hilltop.
The evening was started by a pulled pork dinner fund raiser for the Fillies which was well attended beginning at 5 p.m.
The festivities got under way with a performance of some routines by the 2016-17 Harrison County varsity cheerleaders and the 2016-17 dance team.

Despite losing four wrestlers from last year’s team who either placed, or were a couple of matches away from placing, in the state meet, Coach Luke Tucker believes his team will be in the hunt for the Region 8 title.
“Johnson Central only graduated one so they have to be the favorite but we aren’t conceding anything,” Tucker said. “We have a really good senior class and a good group of sophomores who can bring us closer to them if we perform.”

Saturday evening, we went to the second home game for the NKU Lady Norse coached by Camryn Whitaker.
Saturday’s opponent was NAIA Indiana University East of Richmond Indiana. We took Annie and Gabby so the first part of the trip was spent de-programming them from the “we are IU fans” to this is not the right IU and we are for the white uniformed team.
The setting for the game is great for the whole family with the playground up on the terrace level for the younger ones when the game bores them.
